Thereafter, 2 stone DSC at the end of each game for hammer in the next game. 

During group play, games can end in a tie. If a game ends in a tie, the 2 stone DSC at the end of the game will also count as a DSC shootout.

2pts for a tie plus shootout win 

1pt for a tie plus shootout loss 

0pt for a loss. 
 

Ranking within the groups is based on: 

1. Points (Win / tie / loss)

RULES & INFORMATION 

NUMBER OF ENDS: 

All group games are 8 ends and a 2 stone DSC shootout if the game is tied after 8 ends.

All playoff games are 8 ends and extra ends when necessary. 

SWEEPING: 

Sweeping: If we see a team “dumping” or “lifting” you will receive 1 warning and if you continue to do this, the umpire will remove any following stones that are observed breaking the sweeping rules by either dumping or lifting during the remainder of the competition. 

MEASURING: 

Please measure yourself together with the opposition but if you do need help, let one of the event officials know and we will of course help you! 

TIME: 

We will not be timing any games, but we ask you to aim for 15 mins per end, so we have time to re-surface the ice between each game. If you are playing slowly, we will give you a polite reminder! 

PLAYOFFS: 

The highest ranked team in each playoff game will have choice of hammer or colour. 

STREAMING: 

We will stream all games from our stationary cameras on the Sundbyberg Curlinghall YouTube channel. 

Lanes A & B will be on one stream and lanes C & D on another stream. 

PAYMENT

Entry fee: 4500 sek per team.
